Abstract (en)

Examines the medieval perspective on the afterlife and the relationship between the living and the dead via an analysis of the contemporaneous practice of devoting opulent liturgical objects to key religious figures in the hope of securing salvation. Discusses sculptural works and manuscripts depicting apocalyptic tropes and the confrontation between good and evil, heaven and hell, as well as representations of heavenly order effected by the geometric composition of divine subjects. Interprets 12th-c. funerary slabs depicting clergy in frontal, two-dimensional relief as emphasizing the simultaneity of death and life by presenting figures that seem to be both standing and lying.
